Definitions
- Disk drives comprise a disk and a head connected to a distal end of an actuator arm which is rotated about a pivot by a voice coil motor (VCM) to position the head radially over the disk.
- VCM voice coil motor
- the disk comprises a plurality of radially spaced, concentric tracks for recording user data sectors and servo sectors.
- the servo sectors comprise head positioning information (e.g., a track address and servo bursts) which is read by the head and processed by a servo control system to control the velocity of the actuator arm as it seeks from track to track.
- FIG. 1A shows a disk drive according to an embodiment of the present invention comprising a disk having a plurality of servo tracks defined by embedded servo sectors, a head actuated over the disk, and control circuitry.
- FIG. 1B is a flow diagram executed by the control circuitry according to an embodiment of the present invention wherein a data center off-track is computed in response to repeatable runout (RRO) values measured from a first and second servo track.
- RRO repeatable runout
- FIGS. 1C and 1D show an embodiment of the present invention wherein the first servo track is a write servo track, and the second servo track is a corresponding read servo track.
- FIG. 2 shows control circuitry according to an embodiment of the present invention for generating a VCM control signal in response to wedge RRO values and adaptive feedforward values.
- FIG. 3 is a flow diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention wherein the data center off-track is computed by convolving an open loop impulse response of the VCM control loop with write and read servo track RRO values.
- FIG. 4 is a flow diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention wherein the data center off-track is computed by convolving an open loop impulse response of the VCM control loop with a difference between the write and read servo track RRO values.
- FIG. 5 is a flow diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention wherein a data track is relocated to a spare track when the data center off-track exceeds a threshold.
- FIG. 6 is a flow diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention wherein the wedge RRO values are adjusted in response to the data center off-track.
- FIG. 1A shows a disk drive according to an embodiment of the present invention comprising a disk 2 having a plurality of servo tracks 4 that define a plurality of data tracks, and a head 6 actuated over the disk 2 by a voice coil motor (VCM) 8 , wherein the head 6 comprises a read element 10 A offset radially from a write element 10 B.
- the disk drive further comprises control circuitry 12 operable to execute the flow diagram of FIG. 1B .
- the read element 10 A is positioned (step 14 ) over a first servo track and the write element is positioned over a second servo track ( FIG. 1C ), and a first repeatable runout (RRO) of the first servo track is measured (step 16 ).
- the read element 10 A is positioned (step 18 ) over the second servo track ( FIG. 1D ), and a second RRO of the second servo track is measured (step 20 ).
- a data center off-track is computed in response to the first RRO and the second RRO (step 22 ).
- the disk 2 comprises a plurality of servo sectors 24 0 - 24 N that define the plurality of servo tracks 4 .
- the control circuitry 12 processes the read signal 26 to demodulate the servo sectors 24 0 - 24 N into a position error signal.
- the PES is filtered with a suitable compensation filter to generate a control signal 28 applied to a voice coil motor (VCM) 8 which rotates an actuator arm 30 about a pivot in order to position the head 6 radially over the disk 2 in a direction that reduces the position error signal.
- VCM voice coil motor
- the servo sectors 24 0 - 24 N may comprise any suitable position information, such as a track address for coarse positioning and servo bursts for fine positioning.
- the read element 10 A is offset radially from the write element 10 B as illustrated in FIG. 1C , and this offset may vary based on the radial location of the head due to the skew angle. Consequently, during a write operation the read element 10 A may be positioned over a first servo track (a write servo track) in order to position the write element 10 B over a second servo track (a read servo track).
- the center of a data track may correspond with the center of a servo track, and in another embodiment the center of a data track may be offset from the center of a servo track.
- the read element 10 A may be offset from the center of the write servo track (using a jog value) in order to position the write element 10 B over the centerline of a target data track as illustrated in FIG. 1C .
- FIG. 2 shows example control circuitry according to an embodiment of the present invention for generating the control signal 28 applied to the VCM 8 .
- a target radial position r 32 of the read element 10 A is compared to an estimated position Y 34 of the read element 10 A to generate a position error signal e 36 .
- the position error signal e 36 is filtered using a suitable compensation filter 38 to generate the VCM control signal 28 .
- the ability of the control circuitry to maintain the read element 10 A over the target radial position depends on the ability to compensate for disturbances in the control loop.
- the control loop disturbances are repeatable over a revolution of the disk due, for example, to eccentricities of the servo track (i.e., repeatable runout RRO).
- RRO repeatable runout
- the low frequency RRO (e.g., the once around or fundamental frequency) is measured and compensated using feedforward values 40 that cause the read element 10 A to follow the low frequency RRO so that its affect is not seen in the position error signal e 36 .
- the feedforward values 40 are adapted during normal operation of the disk drive, for example, by estimating a sinusoidal disturbance in the position error signal e 36 .
- the higher frequency RRO is measured and compensated using wedge RRO values 42 that are subtracted from the position error signal e 36 so that the read element 10 A effectively ignores the higher frequency RRO.
- the wedge RRO values measured while servoing on a write servo track may be different from the wedge RRO values measured while servoing on a read servo track ( FIG. 1D ).
- the difference between the wedge RRO values for the write/read servo tracks effectively induces a data center off-track when the read element 10 A is servoed over the read servo track ( FIG. 1D ).
- this data center off-track is computed in response to RRO values measured for write/read servo tracks so that appropriate corrective action can be taken, such as relocating a data track if the data center off-track is excessive, or adjusting the wedge RRO values to compensate for the data center off-track.
- FIG. 3 shows a flow diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention for computing the data center off-track, wherein the adaptive feedforward compensation is disabled or frozen (step 44 ) so that the feedforward values 40 are either not used or not adapted while computing the data center off-track.
- the read element is positioned over a write servo track (step 46 ) and write RRO values are measured for the write servo track (step 48 ).
- the write RRO values may be measured in any suitable manner, and in the embodiment of FIG. 3 , it is measured by evaluating the position error signal e W .
- a corresponding affect Y W on the position of the read element (after generating the VCM control signal 28 ) is computed (step 50 ) by convolving the position error signal e W with the open loop impulse response h of the servo control loop.
- the open loop impulse response h may be determined in any suitable manner, such as by evaluating the bode response of the servo system within each disk drive. In another embodiment, the open loop impulse response h is estimated using suitable analysis software (such as MATLAB) for a family of disk drives.
- the read element is positioned over a read servo track (step 52 ) and read RRO values are measured for the read servo track (step 54 ).
- the read RRO values may be measured in any suitable manner, and in the embodiment of FIG.
- a corresponding affect on the position Y R of the read element (after generating the VCM control signal 28 ) is computed (step 56 ) by convolving the position error signal e R with the open loop impulse response h of the servo control loop.
- the corresponding data center off-track is then computed (step 58 ) as the difference between the write position Y W and the read position Y R of the read element.
- FIG. 4 is a flow diagram according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention which modifies the embodiment of FIG. 3 wherein the data center off-track is computed by convolving the difference between the error signals (e R -e W ) with the open loop impulse response h of the servo control loop (step 60 ) which is mathematically equivalent to the embodiment of FIG. 3 .
- FIG. 5 is a flow diagram which extends on the flow diagram of FIG. 1B according to an embodiment wherein if the data center off-track exceeds a threshold (step 62 ), then the corresponding data track (write data track) is relocated to a spare track (step 64 ). In this manner, marginal data tracks which may be unrecoverable during normal operation are mapped out of the disk format to prevent data loss.
- At least one of the wedge RRO values 42 may be modified (step 66 ) in response to the data center off-track computed in response to the write/read RRO values.
- the wedge RRO values 42 may be modified for either or both of the write servo track and/or the read servo track. This embodiment may help reduce the resulting data center off-track so that the data track need not be relocated to a spare track.
- the process is repeated such that after adjusting the wedge RRO values the data center off-track is recomputed and the wedge RRO values adjusted again. This process may iterate until the data center off-track falls below a threshold, or until the number of iterations exceeds a threshold wherein the data track is relocated to a spare track.
- control circuitry may be implemented within a read channel integrated circuit, or in a component separate from the read channel, such as a disk controller, or certain steps described above may be performed by a read channel and others by a disk controller.
- the read channel and disk controller are implemented as separate integrated circuits, and in an alternative embodiment they are fabricated into a single integrated circuit or system on a chip (SOC).
- the control circuitry may include a suitable preamp circuit implemented as a separate integrated circuit, integrated into the read channel or disk controller circuit, or integrated into an SOC.
- control circuitry comprises a microprocessor executing instructions, the instructions being operable to cause the microprocessor to perform the steps of the flow diagrams described herein.
- the instructions may be stored in any computer-readable medium. In one embodiment, they may be stored on a non-volatile semiconductor memory external to the microprocessor, or integrated with the microprocessor in a SOC. In another embodiment, the instructions are stored on the disk and read into a volatile semiconductor memory when the disk drive is powered on. In yet another embodiment, the control circuitry comprises suitable logic circuitry, such as state machine circuitry.
